Teachings and Philosophy

Bill Harris, as one of the teachers of the law of attraction featured in The Secret, says that there’s more to it than just putting something out to the universe and hoping to get something back. He believes that it is true that you create in reality, in one way or another, that on which you focus your attention – but without taking action and giving value to the world, you can forever stay only a wishful thinker.

Whatever you want to get in life: money, a fulfilling relationship, good health, a great career – you can’t get it just by wishing for it. You have to take action, which will be, in some way, of value to other people in the world. That is why it is called the law of attraction: to get value, you have to give value.

He believes that the process of manifesting goes like this: when you focus on getting something, your mind generates ideas about how to get it, ideas about what actions you could take to get it; then you begin to notice resources you could use to get it – people who could help, information that you haven’t noticed before. What actually happens is that, when you focus on something, your mind develops a kind of radar that causes resources to wave little red flags at you .

What happens then is that thinking about the benefits of having it and imagining how good it will feel, will bring you to be more persistent, disciplined, self-reliant and to take personal initiative.

Quotes

To create wealth, or to achieve anything, there is always a price to pay. In some way you must provide something of value to the world, which always involves taking action.

When you focus on something with a lot of passion, it makes it happen even faster.
